A smaller 4mm (5/32") Allen nut for most instruments. Smooth two-way action corrects upbow and backbow, giving complete control over the neck.

Easy to install. The Hot Rod® fits in a straight channel. For proper operation, this truss rod must be installed so
that the active rod (the rod with the adjustment nut) is below the passive rod. A wooden filler stick is not required.

Total adjustability

I've been using this rod in all my guitars and they've worked great. I even was able to pull a neck back into position that had spent days floating around in it's case two years ago in the flood that hit the Nashville lockup where lots of touring musicians stored their instruments. I do think owners need to be advised not to try and straighten a neck just by turning the nut. Clamps are your best bet and just use the neck rod to hold things in position once you've got things where you want them. I'm afraid an uninformed owner might strip threads otherwise.

Great choice

i am working to build a 7 strings LesPaul shaped guitar,For the Truss rod,I stopped my choice on 4mm which corresponded to my expectations, the build quality is excellent and the rod is adjusted to perfection, thanks StewMac.Mark Davis

True to its own design.

This is not my first choice for truss rods. It's very deep, taking away more wood than neccessary, and the use of soft brass makes me nervous. Also because of the round top profile there is very little metal in contact with the fretboard. Still, it is a good execution of a design that does make a lot of sense.

very nice truss rod

I bought this double action truss rod for my first guitar build. I was very scared of installing a truss rod in general because of the whole cutting a deep slot in the neck and sanding through idea. It just terrified me. I wanted to make sure the rod could help adjust for a bow in either direction an i had never built a guitar. I was extremely pleased as well as surprised with the quality of the rod, and the ease in which it went in. I bought the special router bit made for the install and it went perfectly. Thank you stewmac!
